Coronation Street star Peter Ash has opened up about his character Paul Foreman's ongoing battle with MND, as well as the shock arrival of Paul's estranged dad Denny
Coronation Street ’s Peter Ash has shared an update on his character Paul Foreman's health as his MND symptoms continue to progress rapidly. In upcoming scenes, Paul tries to make the most of the time he has got left and is stunned to be reunited with his estranged father Denny .
Speaking about the storyline, actor Peter said: "I think had it been a couple years ago, without the MND diagnosis, he probably would have told his dad to do one, basically. Because he wasn't a nice person at all. But I think Paul has a different outlook now because obviously he's dying, and I think he's just got a different way of looking at that."
"Yeah, he's having a real problem breathing. From the day before, when he goes to the pub with Denny, he drinks a bit too much and he's a little bit sick that day, I think it's still on his lungs, and that's what causes the coughing fit the next day," Peter said. Paul's sister Gemma and mum Bernie are also not happy with Denny's arrival. Peter added: "They're not impressed at all. I mean, I think Paul's probably the one that's the most positive about his return, at the start anyway. He's short of time, and he wants to smooth anything over he can before his time's up, really."
